Economy

The Circular Economy isn’t a buzzword. It’s a mandate—and a procurement priority.

To reduce waste, we need to track it first. Hub360 makes every load:

• Real-time visible

• Immutable and archived

• Traceable by material, project, driver, or site

In the world of construction logistics, time isn’t just money—it’s momentum. Yet every week, teams across Ireland are losing dozens of hours chasing missing dockets, updating error-prone spreadsheets, and retrofitting reports to meet compliance deadlines. Enter Hub360’s instant and secure digital archiving system—a solution purpose-built to eliminate administrative drag.

Irish waste and material movement regulations are growing in complexity. From Articles 27 and 28 to the Circular Economy Act 2022, the pressure to prove responsible waste management has never been higher.

For many, that translates into stress, manual admin, and spreadsheet overload.

In haulage, trust is everything. Yet with traditional paper-based systems or spreadsheet guesswork, that trust can erode quickly. A missing docket. An incorrect timestamp. A delivery marked in error.

With Hub360, it’s not about having a "digital POD".
It’s about having an entire compliance-ready infrastructure that:

• Captures driver actions in real-time at point of pickup or delivery

• Auto-generates dockets with time, date, geo-location, vehicle, and load data

• Secures and archives the record permanently in a structured, searchable database

For developers managing multiple sites and suppliers, sustainability reporting is becoming a logistical nightmare. With CSRD deadlines tightening and Scope 3 emissions under the microscope, spreadsheet-based systems just won’t cut it anymore.

To stay competitive and compliant, you need more than estimates. You need real-time ESG visibility across every active job.

That’s where Hub360 comes in.

The days of “dig it up and dump it” are over.

With the launch of Ireland’s Circular Economy Strategy and the National Waste Management Plan for a Circular Economy (2024–2030), local authorities are now expected to treat construction materials as valuable resources, not disposable by-products.

Nowhere is this shift more visible than in road construction—and particularly in the handling of blacktop planings.

For Irish local authorities, the pressure is growing—not just to manage waste, but to account for one of the most valuable and overlooked public assets in road construction: milled blacktop.

Every year, thousands of tonnes of high-value asphalt are scraped from Ireland’s roads during resurfacing. This material—known as road planings—is not just reusable, it’s financially valuable. Yet in far too many projects, it goes untracked, underreported, or disappears entirely.

In Ireland, councils are increasingly under pressure to manage resources efficiently and sustainably. One area that often goes unnoticed is the handling of milled asphalt, commonly known as blacktop. This material, generated during road resurfacing projects, holds significant value both environmentally and financially. Yet, without proper tracking and reuse strategies, councils risk not only wasting resources but also falling short of compliance with emerging European standards.

Change is no longer a buzzword. In the construction industry, it has become a non-negotiable imperative. With the tightening of emissions reporting frameworks under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and increasing investor scrutiny, the pressure is on to move beyond outdated estimations and into the realm of verifiable, auditable carbon tracking. The time to embrace change is now—and Hub360 is leading the charge.
